Is Fort Wilderness considered a Disney resort?

Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is a themed camping resort located in the Magic Kingdom Resort Area at the Walt Disney World Resort in the U.S. state of Florida. It officially opened on November 19, 1971. The resort is situated adjacent to Bay Lake, near Disney's Wilderness Lodge.



Yes, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground is fully considered an official Walt Disney World Resort hotel and carries all the associated "on-site" benefits. Located in the Magic Kingdom Resort Area, it offers a unique rustic experience that contrasts with the traditional hotel buildings of the Contemporary or Polynesian. Because it is a "Disney-owned and operated" resort, guests enjoy perks such as complimentary transportation to all four theme parks and Disney Springs, early theme park entry (30-minute head start), and the ability to book dining reservations for their entire stay starting 60 days before check-in. The resort is divided into "Campsites" for tents and RVs and "The Cabins," which are stand-alone dwellings that were recently refreshed as Disney Vacation Club properties. It is also home to the famous Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. Staying here allows guests to remain entirely within the "Disney Bubble" while enjoying 750 acres of pine and cypress forest, making it one of the most beloved and distinctive lodging options in the Florida complex.
